- Edward I’s Berwick parliament (when Bernard was abbot of Kilwinning) × Adam abbot of Kilwinning; death of William Kerr.
Note this document is dated based on Roger as abbot of Kilwinning; this is also the sole witness for Roger as abbot. If correct, this document probably dates from early in this range, based on the witnesses. It is also possible that Roger was abbot before Abbot Bernard, in which case it could date to the 1280s or early 1290s.
